Hegseth – Part 2
Disgruntled lawmaker, Republican Thomas Massie, and the Democrats lost in the move to force a vote this week on impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, one of President Donald Trump’s most controversial Cabinet secretaries.
Speaker Johnson called for a vote to refer the charges to committee. The Democrats and Massie did not want that but no other Republican House member sided with him. The measure succeeded 211-204. Interestingly 11 Democrats did not vote due to a “traffic incident.” Apparently seven Republicans also did not vote. No excuse was given for them.
The charges will die there.
